Its simple bro; nobody cares about them and their states.

ba7man: I visited the Enugu thread since it was recommended to me and I noticed it was peaceful because there were no South western posters trolling around.

I wouldn't say the same if it was an Ibadan or Oshogbo or any other Yoruba thread.

Twistaray: And so what? Is nigeria not owing too or not?

Let the yoruba's speak for themselves and while Igbo's mind their business.
Isn't that simple?

That is because Yoruba folks are at peace with themselves and others. The obsession of some SE posters with all things Yoruba here is mainly one way. It is unrequited attention. Most Yorubas focus on their own affairs, are secure in themselves and have absolutely nothing to prove to anyone.

ba7man: I agree, they travel down to the south West to make a living, they visit South west threads to troll, they question South west affairs at every turn, they insult South west at every chance they get, they keep plotting one south west downfall or the other, they know all our Governors and politicians more that theirs...............It seems to be an obsession.

I'm just glad we're not really bothered about what goes on in their end. If only they knew true growth comes from looking within, not looking at the South west.

PreacherMAN1: i believe gbawe wakes up to eat ass every day......Apc ass and anyone willing to drop kobo

Twistaray:

Free the dude and let him be.
What is your fixation on him? say what u have and let go for crying out loud.
If he likes let him swallow Ppp bottom it is voice nah

Gbawe:
Bro, why do you think I ignored the idiot? If what I said pains him, he can go and jump. As someone who never concerns himself with the business of others, I am justified telling others to leave the Yorubas and their affairs alone if all they can contribute is negativity, insults, general malevolence and an obsession with badmouthing everything to do with the ethnic group. If anyone is pained by that common sense advise then it shows you how childish they are because it is mainly only little children who get angry and throw tantrums when you tell them to stop doing something that is wrong.

sesanrota:

Simply put it this way, They are impervious to correction

If u know the antecedents of IMF AN THE WORld BANK u won't say such,those two practicaly destroyed the economies of south East Asian countries,the "asian tigers",u forgotten?the current one ,Argentina is held by the jugular by the same Institutions.

BRICS is just a name given to those countries by an economic analyst ,Jim O'Neill of Goldman sach,so if Nigeria joins tomorrow,the acronym will simply change to accomondate the letter "N".an membership is just a matter of GDP and estimated growth,u don't need to bring"goat an kola nut" to do so,u can do ur research again.

fairheven:
But let us also be realistic,using US to measure is rather far-fetched;the very reason US has done that an still standing,is because Dollar is the world's legal tender,simple put.e.g,if a country is owing the US,that country wud need buy the dollar to pay,but if the US is owing any country,all they need is to print the dollar to pay,so in reality the USA is owing nobody.

voltron: hmmmm. while we make valid arguments on the unbecoming social behavior and dumb reasoning of our people.. why not also see these symptoms as a deeper sign of malaise within the governing Eco-system that is now manifesting? are we trying to cure malaria while leaving mosquitoes to breed.

The basic rule is that you lay a sustainable foundation for your legacy to thrive for generations to come, that is how social and economic infrastructures in developed countries continue to cause wonder for Africans from less-developed regions. It is the key to living long in the land that you find yourself. ensure that your children's children are able to pay for the debts you owed due to your investment in their future. if this does not happen or the foundation for sustainability is weak. there will be curses .. worse; the same impoverished you have left behind will prey on the few elite who benefited from your intransigence. Eko o ni baje oooh

whitecat007: Just $3B? with all the infrastructures and carrying the burdens of refugees from eastern states? then Fashola of Lagos has done very well, when compared to the Omugo in Aso rock who has eaten the same amount in food alone, and burrowing more with nothing to show for it other than ogogoro bleached lips.

iykak47: The report says Lagos state owes 33.86 percent of the country's total sub-national external debt, this is the 5th page, still those defending Fashola and his master Tinubu on the issue can't specifically say what Lagos state is doing with the borrowed money. Where are the mega projects? Must people defend their demi-gods even if it doesn't make sense?
AS usual they're playing the population card on the matter which Kano or some states can collectively play also.

capricon:

There is nothing to show for it thats why they resort to ethnic bashing.

komekn: Fashola impresses me immensely, when I come to Lagos, I CAN FEEL SEE, TOUCH & EXPERIENCE the dividends of democracy.

The ability to borrow foreign capital is a reflection of astute economic policies and projected capacity to be considered a SAFE VIABLE INVESTMENT

My advice borrow more to do more , well done Fashola.[i][/i]

django1: I'm not sure most of the people crying have ever been to Lagos. No state in Nigeria can come close to Lagos in development in the last 15 years, NONE.

Gbawe:

You must be out of your mind. There is ample evidence on ground, more than anywhere else in Nigeria, to "show for it". If bigoted 'amebos', putting their nose where it does not belong, choose not to see the giant stride the entire world sees and acknowledge then don't deem it "ethnic bashing" when exasperated true Lagosians and South-Westerners speak against the "nothing to show" dishonesty postulated mainly by Nairalanders from the SE. Do SE folks care about the SW that much? Is it a coincidence that Hausa, Fulani and even most SS folks are indifferent to the affairs of the SW, as it should be and perhaps because they are minding their own business and problems, while it is SE folks who carry SW matter on their head negatively and malevolently? Guy, face your front abeg. You are simply another dishonest fellow.

See the thread below and give yourself a slap for your "nothing to show for it" garbage. You people are incredible. Throughout the world, leaders with supreme and pivotally decisive information are praising Fashola for his "hugely transformational leadership" and you are here spreading falsehood. You lot are irredeemable.

agangadiman: at least lagos has SOMETHING to show for te oney it owes,

-building a metroline

- [s]building a new international airport on the island
[/s]
- [s]private investment into state infrastructure, and leisure facilities[/s]

- [s]improving tourism and generally cleaning up the state slowly but surely.[/s]


none of this is replicated in any other states, with only about 2 or 3 coming anywhere slightly close to lagos ( ogun state, and rivers, ) the rest are just useless govt dependent political entitites swallowing funds with no result. all nothern states are just so run down now its unbeleiveable. the development that kaduna, niger, and kano enjoyed has deteriorated. as for middle belt... they are just as useless. no viable major businesses there anymore.

America that is called the "richest" country in the world, is also the most INDEBTED country, infact... the top 10 richest countries owe 60% of the world's debt.... so in our society today where Usury is the language spoen in business, it is good to borrow and make good use of the money. not just to borrow and spend it on a house in UK/US buying a range rover etc.

UP lagos jare
